A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
McGarigle's Partner Nearly Escapes from
Jail-A Woman Carries Him n Rope
MlIh which lie DrOps into the Yard.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-For days back mystic
rious whisperiHgs have been floating
around the stone walls of the county jail
concerning an affair the knowledge of
which has until now been confined to only
a very few individuals. f. Mcdonald the
partner of McGarigle in boodleism and
who was sentenced along with him, made
a daring break for his liberty about two
weeks ago, which had it proved successful
would have more than rivalled in its
sensational features the celebrated
episode OF the Dath tnO ana the HlgnJ 10
Canada.
One evening about two weeks ago a
friend of the prisoner-a woman-waS adj
mtted to see him. This woman had II
long coil of rope concealed about her per
son which she left in the possession of
Mcdonald. The apartment in which he
was couflied is on the third floor and Il
ventilator runs from the cell to the roof.
Through this aperture Mcdonald man
aged to climb till he reached the roof. He
then fastened one end OF the rope to some
projection on the roof and let the other
end down. Once landed in the yard, he
pursued his way stealthily until he
reached the stairs where visitors pass into
the Jail. AS he came up to the turn of the
stairway he ran against one OF the guards,
but the latter supposing him to be Visi-
tor who had obtained permission to come
there, passed on and did not challenge
him. Half way between the stair and the
entrance is another hall leading to an
other entrance Through this hall Nc
Donald was proceeding to the street en-
trance in view and liberty all but within
his grasp when he was confronted by Il

Donald. Had he quietly passed along the

taken OF him by any one of the party. But
| he was taken with timid fit and drew
back into the shadow moment, that at
once excited the suspicion of the detective
who promptly seized him by the arm and
drew him forward into the light Melon

fist, which sent the latter reeling to the

AT this moment the deputy sheriff recog

him after a fierce resistance. Then an
alarm was given and the wouldbe fugi-
tive was secured, but not until he had
uttered a shrill whistle, which could be
heard for a considerable distance, and
which was evidently a preconcerted sig
nal for carriage, which was standing in

CONTEMPTIBLE CONDUCT
or n Novia Scotia Omcial Toward Yankee
Fishermen:

HALIFAX, N. S., Sept. "a special from
Shelburne says: The preventive officer at
Northeast harbor made an abortive at
tempt to seize an American fishing vessel
on Saturday. The facts appear to be
briefly these: The schooner Walter NJ.
Young of Lamoine, Me, is said to have
shipped two men at Northeast harbor last
spring, when bound to the banks. Sat
urday she called into that place for the
purpose, it is alleged, Of landing those
men at their homes. But the preventive
officer was laying for the captain, and
when the latter came on shore and pro
duced his papers for entry the officer took
the papers and locked them up, informing
the captain at the same time that his YES
sci was seized for violating the customs
law and that she must forthwith be given
up to the authorities, cargo and all.
The captain returned on board and held
consu taton with his crew, who wanted
to go ashore in force, raid the officers
premises and recapture the papers. From
this intent they were dissuaded by the
captain who decided to sail immedl ate ly
for home, and did so leaving his papers
behind. A report of the affair states hat
three or four of the crew, who belonged
to Mort beast harbor, came ashore in a
dory as the vessel was leaving, and the
preventive officer not to be entirely
banked, met them on the beach, and de-
manded tho sure nder of the boat, oars,
men and their personal effects. He placed
the broad arrow on the dory, and carried

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
Completion of the Revised Rules and
Regulations.

WASHINGToN, Sept. 1.-THE revised
rules and regulations, the preparation of
which has just been completed by the
civil service commission, were sent to the
public printer today, after Commission
srs Oberly and Lyman had considered
them.
The revised rules are arranged in four
groups as follows General rules. depart
mental rules, customs rules and postal
rules. This the commissioners think will
make future changes and additions com
psratvely easy us they will not have a
confused tumble of regulations to deal
with. AS soon as the revised rules are
printed they will be submitted to the pres
idenJ for final action. The important mat
ter of deciding upon the maximum age
limit, has been left open.
In the revised rules as they will be first
printed, no maximum age limit is fixed
The limit is As years, but the commission
is of the opinion that it should be extend

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
Report that Fred Morey Met His Death
Near Victory, Owing to the Back
ing of the Cars.

The board of railroad commissioners
find that Fred H. Morey Of st. Johnsbury,
a brakeman on the st. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain railroad, who was
thrown from the top of a freight car on
the Victory branch and instantly killed,
July 20, met his death as follows: 1t is
customary, in the operation of this branch
road, to back the freight trains from its
junction with the main line at North Con
cord, over its entire length, to Vic.
tory, little over II miles In
this case the locomotive was
pushing 10 empty freight cars.
AS the train was going up to Victory
Morey was at the forward end of the for
ward car. At nearly mile from the
North Concord junction, where the grade
is descending, he set up the brake on his
car and at the same time gave an alarm
motion to the rear brakeman, near the en-
CINE, by whom he was seen to fall from
the car, was run over and instantly killed
The cause of the accident was the de-
railment Of the car which he was
on, Lake Erie and Western car,
No. 1870. Three others next fol-
lowing We're also thrown from the track.
The board has hitherto delayed this re-
port for the purpose of consulting disin
terested and practical railroad mon, hav-
ing all the facts to present to them. Hav-
ing done SO, its conclusion is that this de-
railment was the result of an improper
method of operating such road as this
is, and that if this train of 10 cars had
been drawn in the usual way, this acct
dent would not have happened.
The board notes that there are incOn-
veniences attending the distribution of
these lumber cars along the spurs and up
to the various mills and lumber stations
by the usual method of running trains,
but IN view of the Increased peril to the
service, under the present method of
backing trains over q road in this condi.
ton, it recommends that the usual meth
cd of hauling these trains be adopted, in
stead of backing them.

when the controversy between DR.. Nc
Glynn and Archbishop Carrigan was the

church of the Epipvhany, New York, pre-.
pared a careful defence of McGlynn, This
was entrusted to Gibbons when he went
to Rome but was suppressed by him il

Roman Catholic university questions
Bishop Moore of Florida has now inter
ested himself in the matter and DR.. Burt

Miss Caldwell of Baltimore contributed
100000. Bishop Spaulding was entirely
ignored at Rome, however, by Gibbon:

DR.. McGlynn, when questioned tonight
said the statement was substantially cor
rect. Gibbons was instructed by the pope
to write him a letter asking him to go tC

THE POWER OF PosrMAsTERs
TO Remove Carriers and Clerks Defined
by the Civil Service Commission.

u remove anu titThs Dthhtu
by the Civil Service Commission.
Civil Service Commissioner Oberly has
sent, in response to an inquiry from
Charles n. Rowland, chairman of the
civil service board of examiners at Gin
cinnati, communication embodying the
views of the commission respecting the
right of a postmaster to remove carriers
and clerks except for causes named in the
civil service law. The communication
says: The power OF removal is unre-
stricted, except that removal may not be
made for any one of the following causes
First, because a person in the service has
refused to contribute to a political fund
or for political purpose second, because
a person has refused to render political
service third, because person has re-
fused to permit the appointing officer or
any other person in the civil service to CO.
cree his political action. For any other
cause any person in the civil service may
be removed legally, and person
Illegally removed for any of the causes
named cannot, under any provision Of the
civil service act, demand restoration. The
The law fairly construed they say, is
that entrance to the classified civil SER
vice shall be upon the merit of the APP
picant without regard to his political
opinions or affiliations, and that continu-
ance in the service shall be upon the EN-
ploye's merit without regard to his polt
zeal opinions or affiliations. Therefore
the appointing officer who appoints or re
fuses to appoint an applicant because the
applicant does or does not entertain GER
tain political opinions violates the law,
and an appointing officer who removes an
employe because the employe refuses tc
render political service in accordance will
the wishes of the appointing officer, be
cause he is not political partisan Of thu
appointing officer, also violates the law.

Water Plants in Union Square.
From the New York Tribunc.1

No dream of the tropics, and such Wis
ions far exceed the sober reality, could be
more enchanting than the display of
water plants in the fountain of Union
Square Park. There is broad border of
yellow and copper red coleuses around
the coping of the fountain, but care has
been taken to deprive these OF the formal
ity inseparable with even surfaces and
this circle undulates like the tops of prai-
RE flowers upon hummocky ground. Even
the pattern is so mildly geometrical that
no one but geometrician would recognize
the curves. 1t was obviously the aim Of
the planter to make it an introduction to
the plants in the basin. so that the transit
ton from the stiffness of the asphalt to
the wildness Of the water blossoms should
not he too abrupt
Indian lotuses. There is fine patch OF
them, and the tail flowers are not only
conspicuous but are abundant also. Never
before did the nelumbium speciosum
flower so freely, and one may thank the
heat and humidity combined for this.
The stalks OF the flowers seem nearly
three feet high, and as they are slender,
the full white flowers tipped with roseate
pink have most graceful bend. The
leaves are shaped somewhat like the Gala,
dunn, which is common in gardens, and
they are erect and about IS inches above
tho water, heading every wav, with
artistic confusion. The petals OF
tho lotus when the flower i. not fully
open are not unlike those Of the rose.
" hon the flower fully disclo.es its heart
the petals are ready to drop. Whenever
one falls and floats like Nile boat upon
the water, a watchful sparrow flies and
gets piece of it, but the bird is evidently
not a confirmed lotus eater, for he leaves
it in haste and consoles himself with a
sip of water from the pattering drops OF
the fountain, to the disgust of the tramps
in the chairs who are lotus eaters them
selves after their fashion.
Near the bending stalks of the lotus Is
floating patch of the American pond
lily. This is the most fragrant and per
haps the most beautiful Of all the nym
phBas, far eXcelling the European varle
ties which are in other parts of the basin
But the attention OF most observers is
fixed upon the great Zanzibar lily, an
immense flower shaped like pond Ill,
and belonging to the same genus but blue
: and huge. The leaves are like the ponC
, lily, only six times larger. There is
however, a difference, for the flower o
the Zanzibar beauty is raised above
the water on an excessively thick ant
somewhat clumsy stem, so that it does no
bend like the graceful lotus when tn
winds caresS it, and it does not tloat llk'
the pond lily upon the loving breast o
the waters. Its glory is in its color ant
size. There is another nymph9a from
Africa, which is very much like the Ian
Zibar lily but it is OF an intense rose PM
, color and is called after the Duke OF Dew
onshire, who introduced it. Besides thes
there are masses of the yellow water bea
: which fills up vacant spaces and blend
7 charmingly with the exotic strangers.
